Universal Converter is a port-powered or externally powered two-channel RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter.
It converts TD and RD RS-232 lines to balanced RS-422 or RS-485 signals.
RS-485 is an enhanced version of the RS-422 standard, allowing multiple drivers and receivers on a two-wire system.
The unit is powered from the RS-232 data and handshake lines whether the lines are high or low or if there is not enough power on the port, it can be powered by an external +12VDC 100mA supply.

The 4WSD9R has DB-9 female connectors on both the RS-232 side and the RS-485 side.
